Garlan the Gallant Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 All I remember from the second book is the sex ninjas and the sex fairy. I think I also remember there being some good lore in there too. Stories behind stories of someone stealing the moon maybe? And maybe the last paragraph of him ninja stepping in his bedroom and that being a sign of progress. But other than that, it’s all gone.

Rhom Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 12 hours ago, Ninefingers said: I've always liked the theory that he had the whole thing planned out, but 40+ year old him hates the plan that 18 year old him put together. My guess is that there are major structural elements in book 3 he just doesn't want anymore. I think you can even see this in the earlier books, like I suspect that prolonged training scene with sexually liberal female ninjas seemed way cooler to him when he was 18, and, I bet he'd pay large sums of money to erase the ultra cringey 'not all men' scene.

Sort of “Bobby steps out of the shower” and all of TWF was a weird fever dream? More like "Here's the new second book called Name of the Snow or whatever. Wise Man's Fear? Never heard of it."

Ninefingers Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 An update of sorts on the sample chapter: Question Quote Hey Pat, That’s awesome! Glad you are enjoying some good gaming time, and have connected with some new friends over at Polygon As a girl who has been following you since 2011, I’m thrilled that you’re still living life to the max. Quickly and politely though, I want to mention that there are many out there, myself included, who would really appreciate an update on the Chapter Reading you promised back in December. It’s been over half a year, good sir… Looking forward to more short-form blogs, and publishings from Underthing Press, but please make sure you’re a man of your word and keep the promises you already made (and that people paid for,) right? Cheers! Response Quote Kayla, this is so careful and kindly phrased. Thanks so much. I feel terrible I haven’t gotten that out for everyone. I have an update blog about half-written too, but haven’t had time to finish that yet either. Which (you guessed it) I feel terrible about as well. This is just to say: I’m sorry. It’s still in the works. I haven’t forgotten. I just did what I always do, which is in trying to make something bigger, better, and cooler, I also made it more complicated and slow. More details soon (ish) Rhom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 He told us he had an update blog written, but he must have deleted it and has only re-written half of a new one! The shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlan the Gallant Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 To be clear, it’s been 11 years and he doesn’t have a single chapter ready to go? He has to work on it? I’m surprised I’m surprised. Kyll.Ing. and Veltigar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSumm Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 So he managed to finish an email, apologising for a blog that isn’t written, a blog about a sample chapter that isn’t written, from a book that isn’t written. I guess we should be grateful he made it to the end of the email? baxus, Rhom and Poobah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I love his writting (the prose… the story can be hit or miss)… just love it. I simply wish there was more of it. This is a warning to any hotshot up and coming authors… never shoot off you mouth unless the promised trilogy is already in the can.

Which is kinda what he said he had ready to go wasn't it? So what do we think happened. He thought he had it and turned out he didn't? Just never had it but thought it would be easy?
